Last week we asked Left Foot Forward readers what outcome they'd most like to see at the General Election. We had 471 responses, and here's what we found out
34.4 per cent of you said you’d like an outright Labour majority, compared to 10.6 per cent who’d like a Conservative majority. Only 13 of you (2.8 per cent) would like things to stay as they are with another Conservative/Lib Dem coalition.
Seven per cent would like to see a Labour-led coalition with the Lib Dems, but 10.8 would like Labour to lead a coalition with the SNP, and 19.3 per cent (91 of you) would like to see Labour lead a coalition with the Greens.
The second most popular choice after a Labour majority was a three-party coalition with Labour, the Greens and the SNP, which 27.6 per cent of you are hoping for. The least popular choice was a Tory/SNP coalition, which only two of you would like to see.
25 of you would like a Tory/UKIP coalition – half the number who are hoping for an outright Tory majority. Adding the Lib Dems into that coalition sees popularity fall to 1.06 per cent.

“But there is no election in 2015.”
That seems to be your cunning plan here.

You oppose Labour supporting the Union, as per their principles.
Then you keep whining about the consequences of FPTP – trying to lump all the parties you evidently feel are leftist together…

And I know several UKIPers who took it and it told them “LibDem”. It’s about as accurate as Tony Blair.

Oh, right, the Left must define itself for you in further cuts. Your proposals are for raising the budget by further austerity – which you evidently love.
And which affects the poor, not the rich, your contention is utterly ridiculous and smokecreen.

Nope, I see you defending HST, and abusing people for moderate leftist views.
You want to offer a few shinies to distract the poor, as you ignore the fact you’d keep shrinking incomes and cutting the state.
And I have no doubt you’d undermine things nicely for your profit anyway. Disasters are caused by cults of personality, like your one for your Dear Leader over there in UKIP land.
